Directory of Evidence-Based Parenting Programs
This directory provides an overview of currently available evidence-based parenting programs and is
intended to serve the needs of parent educators, family practitioners, program planners and others looking
for effective programs to implement with parents and families. Evidenced-based parenting programs (a
subset of the larger body ofevidence-based programs)have been specifically developed to strengthenfamilies, prevent youth and family problems and promote family and child well-being. These programs
have been rigorously evaluated and have demonstrated scientific evidence of improving child, parent
and/or family functioning.
Why use evidence-based programs?
There are numerous advantages to adopting and implementing evidence-based parenting programs
(EBPPs). First and most importantly, EBPPs, when implemented appropriately, have been certified tohave a high likelihood of producing positive impacts on the issues they target. From a fiscal standpoint,
the adoption and implementation of evidence-based parenting programs can help organizations obtain andsustain program funding. Not only do funders increasingly want to invest their dollars in programs that
have scientifically demonstrated their effectiveness, but the public also wants to know that tax dollars are
being spent on programs and services that actually work. A related advantage to implementing EBPPs isthat they are more likely than other programs to have undergone analyses on their costs and benefits.
Increasingly, information is available to indicate that the financial benefits of an EBPP outweigh its costs.
This information can be very influential in an era where accountability and economic factors often drive
public policy and funding decisions. An additional advantage to implementing EBPPs is the efficiencyassociated with their use. Instead of putting resources toward program development, organizations can
select from the growing number of EBPPs, which are known to be effective and often offer well-packagedprogram materials, staff training, and technical assistance. To this end, EBPPs enable limited resources tobe used wisely.

The appearance of a program in multiple registries can provide added strength to the
claim of effectiveness. This can be particularly relevant for programs assessed by someregistries to have less rigorous evaluative designs. There are, however, several excellent
programs listed in the directory that appear in only one registry.
Criteria for Inclusion
In order for a program to be included in this directory it had to meet several criteria. At a minimum, a
significant component of the program had to focuson parent education or parent training and the
program must have met accepted empiricalstandards for an evidence-based program. In
addition, the program must have been listed on atleast one or more national registries of evidence-
based programs.
While we have made every effort to include alleligible programs, new evidence-based programs
are being developed and recognized on a regular
basis. As a result, it is inevitable that our list will be
incomplete and that there are evidence-basedparenting programs that we have neglected to
include. If you are aware of an EBPP that we donot list but you believe should be included, pleaseemail us [email protected].
Selecting an Appropriate Program
Knowing that a program has undergone rigoroustesting and evaluation can reassure potential
program sponsors that the program is likely to be effective under the right conditions and with theappropriate audience. However, knowing which program is the right one for a particular setting and
audience is not always easy to determine. There are a number of critical factors that planners need to
consider when selecting a program for their organization and audience. For those interested in guidelinesto assist in the task of selecting an appropriate evidence-based parenting please see the What Works
Research to Action Brief: Guidelines for Selecting an Evidence Based Program.

Key to Estimated Program Costs
LOW: 0 - $500MEDIUM: $500 - $2000HIGH: Over $2000
Actual program costs can vary
widely from these estimates due to
yearly cost increases, materials, staff
training needs and regional cost
differences. Moreover, initial start-
up expenses are often higher than
costs to maintain the program over
time.
Using the Directory
This directory is organized into two sections. The first section includes programs where parent
education/training is the sole focus of the program. Programs in this section are further divided into twoadditional categories: programs designed to serve a single age range and programs designed to
accommodate multiple age ranges. Some programs have been specifically developed for a particular stageof childhood such as early adolescence or the preschool years. Other programs have expanded beyond one
stage of childhood and include curriculum components that address parenting issue at more than onedevelopmental stage.
The second section of this directory consists of programs where parent education/training is one
component of a broader multi-component program. Addressing the multiple settings in which an
individual spends time and enhancing the connections between them can substantially increase thechances of a programs success. Consequently, multi-component programs which reinforce comparable
messages and behaviors at school, in the family and/or in the community not only have the highest short
term success rates but are more likely to facilitate long term
change. Multi-component programs are more challenging toimplement because they usually require coordination and
administration by multiple service providers, but the resultsare likely to be well worth the effort.
For the majority of the multi-component programs listed, the
parenting component must be used in combination with otherprogram components in order to insure effectiveness.
However, there are some exceptions. When choosing a multi-
component program it is important to look carefully at theprogram description and evaluation results to determine
whether it is appropriate to use the parenting component of theprogram alone.
Section 1: The programs listed in this section focus solely on parenttraining/education for parents and their children within a single age range.
